Nyla Ravensalt POV"Open the door right now!" I shout. My hand hits the thick wood of the room inside the Moonfang Fortress."Hold on, I am coming!" a boy yells from inside.My heart hits my chest fast. I hold the small box of runic herbs tightly. I am just an Omega Courier. I need this pay to buy meat for my small cabin in Moonhaven Ridge Territory. I do not look up when the wood swings open."That will be one hundred and forty-three silver tokens," I say, keeping my voice flat. "Do you have the tokens ready?"The boy does not move. He does not take the box."Nyla?" he whispers.I look up fast. My eyes go wide. My mind stops. The boy standing there with wet hair and a loose sheet around his shoulders is Ronan Ashclaw. He is the boy from the Ashclaw Pack. I love him for six whole years. He is supposed to be far away across the pack lands."Ronan, who is at the gate of the room?" a girl calls out from the fur bed inside. "Is that our special pack oil?""Nobody!" Ronan yells back fast.

Nyla Ravensalt POV"You made the pack guards drag my family to the Alpha Council, so you come with us right now!" the huge guard barked.I don’t care. I sit in the grey room of the Grand Wolf Assembly and stare at the stone floor. My hands are cold. I am the one who called the guards on Ronan Ashclaw, so I have to give my word to the pack elders.The heavy oak doors blow open with a loud bang.My stepmother, Vivienne Saltbane, runs into the room with a bunch of wolves from the Saltbane Silverclaw Pack. She does not even stop. Her hand flies up and hits my face super hard.Slap!My mouth tastes like copper and blood. I look up at her with sharp eyes, but I do not cry."You bad wolf!" Vivienne screams. Her silver fur cloak shakes because she is so mad. "You knew it was your own half-sister, Seraphine Blackthorn, in that room! You still called the Alpha guards on her? Do you want to kill me with stress?!"I wipe the red drop from my lip and let out a small, mean laugh."My sister?" I say

"We can break the bond," I say, "but I want the three smaller packs that the Ashclaw Pack just took over. Give them to me as payment!""What? You are crazy!" Alaric screams before anyone else can talk.I look at my father with cold eyes. "We are not even mated, and you are already helping them keep their lands. Whose father are you?""You""Fine," Ronan’s father says, stopping Alaric with his hand. He looks at me like a real leader. "I agree to your words. You bring your half of the pack token to my lodge, and I will give you the three pack lands.""It is a deal," I say.Ronan’s father walks away with his helpers. My father, Alaric, looks at me like he wants to kill me, then he helps Vivienne and the old elders out of the hall.Now, it is just me, Ronan, and Seraphine in the dark stone corridor.I do not want to look at their ugly faces anymore. I turn my back to leave, but Seraphine cries out behind me."Sister!"She runs fast and stands right in front of my path. Her face has tears

Nyla Ravensalt POV"Hey, where do you think you are going?" Selene Thornmoon sneers, stepping right in front of me.I do not want to see her ugly face. She always tries to fight with me since we are pups. I just pull out my small leather pouch to pay the barkeep for my fire-water so I can leave this tavern in the Shadowmoon Territory.But Selene grabs my arm hard and stops me."Look at this low Omega courier!" she laughs super loud so the other girls can hear. "What are you delivering tonight? Is it cheap pack oils or dirty rogue herbs for bad wolves?"She reaches out her hand to grab my leather bag.I pull away fast and give her a cold look."Selene Thornmoon, do not make me bite you!" I say."Bite me? Ha!" Selene looks like she just heard a funny joke. "Nyla Ravensalt, you are not the mate of my brother anymore. You are a nobody now. Why are you still acting like a proud Luna?"I keep my mouth shut tight. My jaw hurts because I am pressing my teeth together so hard.Selene waves her

Nyla Ravensalt POV"Is it really worth crying over a stupid dog like that?"The deep voice cuts through my anger. I look away from the wagon window where the dark trees of the Shadowmoon Territory are flying past. My eyes are burning and wet.I blink hard. Magnus Saltwood is sitting right next to me on the plush fur. He looks super grand and noble, with his back straight like an alpha king. His dark eyes look at me, and I suddenly remember I jumped into his wagon to hide from those mean girls at the tavern."You are wrong," I say, wiping my wet cheeks fast with the back of my sleeve. "I am not crying over him."Magnus raises his dark eyebrows. He leans closer, his eyes fixed on my face."Do you know what a strong wolf does when a hunt goes completely wrong?" I ask him, trying to make my voice sound tough."What does a wolf do?" he asks."You drop the bad meat and you walk away fast," I tell him.Magnus smiles a tiny bit, and my heart does a giant flip. He looks so handsome under the d

Nyla Ravensalt POV"Stop crying and unwrap your arms right now," Magnus Saltwood grumbles, his big chest moving up and down under my wet face. "I am going to carry you up to the peak of the Saltwood Alpha Keep so your wolf can rest.""No!" I scream, squeezing his neck even tighter.I bury my nose into his thick fur collar. I feel like a pup drowning in a fast river, and his big body is the only strong log floating by. My mind is spinning with hot fire-water and dark thoughts about Ronan Ashclaw. For six years, Ronan never wanted to share a fur bed with me or mark my skin. I used to think he was just respecting the sacred pack laws because I was a young Moonborn Luna Queen. But tonight I found out he just thought my wolf was cold and boring. He thought I was just like a male wolf under my clothes. I was such a stupid, blind Omega courier.The thought makes my inner wolf howl with deep shame.I want to prove he is wrong. I want to show myself that I am a real female wolf. I pull Magnus

"Look at it," Magnus commands.I look down at the skin parchment, and my heart stops dead. "Is this... no way..."My fingers shake as I grab the red scroll. When I see my own name, Nyla Ravensalt, and my face drawn on the paper next to his name, my eyes almost pop out of my skull."What in the world is this thing?" I gasp.Magnus looks at me with calm, cold eyes. He does not look scared at all, like I am. He points his long finger at the table. "Did your wolf forget what you signed last night?"I stare at him with big, round eyes. "What did I sign?""Hah." Magnus looks like he knew I would say that. He taps the wood, and Garrick hands him another piece of paper right away.I snatch it from his hand, and there are big, bold runes written at the top: Eternal Moonmark Marriage Covenant.I take a super deep breath. "Marriage? How is this real? I was completely drunk last night under the fire-water! This paper does not count!"Magnus leans forward and lets out a cold sneer."Your wolf didn
